Cardinals LS Mike Leach announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday.

The 39-year-old has been long-snapping since breaking into the NFL with the Titans in 2000. He hasn't missed a game since 2002. Leach snapped for the Broncos for 6.5 seasons before spending his final seven in the desert. Wed, Jan 27, 2016 10:39:00 AM

Replacing Leach with Lonie Paxton kicked off the contentious start to the Josh McDaniels-Brian Xanders era in Denver. Leach, 32, was the Broncos' deep snapper for 6 1/2 years. The locker-room favorite never missed a start.

Jermaine Gresham caught 3-of-3 targets for 24 yards before tearing his Achilles' in the Cardinals' Week 17 win over the Seahawks.

It's the worst possible ending to a season that saw Gresham start strong and then fade. Thankfully for the eight-year veteran, he signed a new contract that included $13 million guaranteed last March. He will be back in Arizona but will be highly questionable for Week 1. Gresham turns 30 in June. He has not cleared 400 yards receiving since 2014, his final year in Cincinnati.

Although his reps are limited, Cardinals LT D.J. Humphries (knee) has been taking part in OTAs.

Per the Arizona Republic, Humphries is "on track to be ready by the start of the season." From the sound of it, he will be ready for training camp. Humphries had a decent 2017 between injuries, and will open the year as Sam Bradford or Josh Rosen's blindside protector. The Cardinals continue to endorse his progress as a player, most recently exercising his 2019 team option.
